Comment
The literature on awn colour is not clear. In general, awn colour is associated with glume colour (Aslam, 1958). Occasionally, however, awn colour and glume colour may be different. According to Panin & Netsvetaev (1986), black awns were determined by three complementary genes designated Bla1, Bla2, Bla3. Bla1 was located in chromosome 1A and linked with Gld 1A (= Gli-A1) and Hg.
